The present invention relates to the communication means that is used for being set up to the connection of terminal called when the calling terminal request at last, described method comprises the step that sends the standardization call control message, these standardization call control messages have its predetermined calling terminal on the one hand so that its processing of request is confirmed to this calling terminal and be used to set up first to connect, and have its predetermined terminal called on the other hand so that incoming call is notified to this terminal called and is used to set up second connection.
The present invention has many application, is applied to utilize Subscriber Identity Module especially or utilizes the prepaid card operation so that give the user and the mobile radio telephone system of the GSM type of reliable tariff information is provided for the prepayment terminal.In fact, the network operator generally provides different rate according to given time range, and these rate also may frequently be revised, and this makes that the planning of expense is quite complicated concerning the user.On the other hand, in order to simplify the operation of keeping accounts since prepaid card and can be on the terminal level expense of calculation consumption as the function that sends to the tariff information of this terminal by the network operator.Need to upgrade a kind of competing method of this information in this case.
Known method is included in and adopts tariff list and utilization to upgrade these tables termly for all users' of this system the abbreviated message that is called SMS-CB message by Web broadcast in the terminal.
The major defect of the method is: because many resources are used up in the planned transmission of predetermined all users' to system message, so limit the capacity of this network.
In order to correct this shortcoming, the present invention proposes to generate and can be used by the purpose terminal immediately and a kind of very economical method of the tariff information of additional resource in the consumption network not in fact.According to advantage of the present invention, can applicable tariff information be provided for one or various purpose terminal as the function of designation criteria with discrete way.
Therefore, provide a kind of system with the type that defines in opening paragraph, it is characterized in that, this system comprises the code device that is used at least one the described standardization call control message coding tariff information with its at least one predetermined described terminal.In this mode, this system avoids only sending the particular message that supposition comprises tariff information.In fact, this information of coding in the standardization call control message that when always connecting, is sending.Therefore, in useful mode, the transmission of tariff information not on the consumption network any additional resource and the rate that will be effectively applied to this calling immediately notify the user.This information can send to the terminal of this connection of starting or also can send to the terminal that especially receives this information in the situation of terminal called roaming, wherein receive this outside the overlay area of the main user network of terminal called in the situation of terminal called roaming and call out, this is because the latter can find the expense of its own a part of receipt of call of having been kept accounts.
According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, described code device is used for coming encoded packets to be contained in the described tariff information of described standardized messages with the code element of the type " function information element " described in suggestion GSM04.80, the 3.6th chapter and the appendix A.
Of the present invention these will become apparent and will utilize nonrestrictive example to combine following embodiment with other aspects from following embodiment and set forth.
In the accompanying drawings:
Fig. 1 is the figure of expression according to terminal of the present invention and telecommunication system;
Fig. 2 is the parent map of expression according to telephone terminal operation of the present invention; With
Fig. 3 represents according to method of attachment of the present invention.
The exemplary system of the radio subsystem of the GSM type that its figure representative is simplified very much in Fig. 1 is based on the suggestion ETS300 940 of ETSI (European Telecommunication Standard office).Yet the present invention can be applied to allow in other telecommunication systems that connect with circuit-mode between calling party and the callee at least.
The system of Fig. 1 comprises two radio base stations 10 and 11, is used for realizing radio interface between mobile radio telephone network GSM and mobile radio station or terminal 13 and 14.Controller 15 drives radio base stations 10 and 11 and control this radio subsystem.This controller also guarantees to allow to reduce the service set function of Network Transmission expense.In this example, the terminal 13 that is called calling terminal is thought and terminal 14 contacts that are called terminal called.For this reason, terminal 13 sends connection request 16 to network by nearest radio base station 10.Hereinafter will describe according to request linker of the present invention in conjunction with Fig. 3.Under the control of controller 15, radio base station 10 and 11 radio resource allocated and connect 17 between terminal.In case set up radio link, thereby each minute of communicating by letter kept accounts according to the predefined contract option of operator institute of the network that during this connects, utilizes.Usually, the expense of communication is collected to calling terminal.This expense also can be collected or divide according to predetermined being subdivided between the both sides to terminal called.The pre-payment contract that this segmentation can depend on constraint manipulation person's contract, different user's contracts or user have reached with its master network, called number or the like.
Though represent a radio subsystem for simplicity's sake and only in Fig. 1, the different more complicated system by different network operator management of can upgrading is so that connect between terminal remote on two geography.Under specific situation, terminal called can for example be positioned at abroad, is positioned among the overlay area of another system except that he has bought reservation or prepayment service.In this case, with generally to the callee collect corresponding to the callee network and its routine work supplier or master network between the expense of incoming call of the communications portion that is connected.Fig. 1 represents that this connects the simple scenario that two terminals that involved are arranged in same overlay area.Thereby can all collect the expense of this calling to calling terminal 13.
The present invention has two purposes:
The calling terminal that allows to have precharging circuit calculates the expense of calling in reliable mode; With
Allow the user to know the rate that can be applicable to its calling in advance.
For this reason, 10 when receiving connection request 16 in the base station, and controller 15 begins to comprise by relevant radio base station (referring to stand 10 here) makes this call out the transmission of the predetermined message 18 of the predetermined tariff information IT that is billed to calling terminal 13.According to the variation of using the embodiment of the invention of special software device in the network, predetermined message 18 can send to this destination that connects all terminals that involved, and perhaps also can only send to the terminal of will be kept accounts or also can send to any equipment (server) that this information might be used in particular for calculating calling charge.Tariff information to the discrete transmissions of several purpose terminals or destination device provides significant advantage, and with opposite by broadcast the known method that updating message constitutes for all terminals of system in planned mode, this is unlikely to unnecessarily to make network saturated.
